So they came, one by one, there was never any warning Blood out the stuck thick fields like it was gonna last long And I saw the whole rise, I saw the whole thing fall down an old flash spun A lattice of it reaching out And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave And I've seen more villages burn than animals born And I've seen more towers come down than children grow old Cross the peaks, cross the marsh, cross your fingers for the last time Pass out the blame to someone, and never step in upside Nobody's asking why is your head bent down So there's trillions lost, I'm dreaming of a different time And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave And I've seen more villages burn than animals born I've seen more towers come down than children grow old And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave And I've seen more villages burn than animals born And I've seen more towers come down than children grow old
